1 General requirements

Technical specification has been prepared and approved by the Telecommunications

Regulatory Authority (TDRA) based on the Telecommunication apparatus Type Approval
Regime.
Several technical specifications may apply to the equipment. If equipment within the scope of
this technical specification also incorporates functions that are covered by another technical
specification, the relevant technical specification is applied to each function separately. The
influence of one function on the other is taken into account.

2 Scope

This technical specification applies to Road Transport, Traffic Telematics and Ancillary
Equipment.
This technical specification defines minimum technical requirements for health and safety,
electromagnetic compatibility, efficient use of radio spectrum and additional essential
requirements based on the Telecommunication apparatus Type Approval Regime.
Unless the context requires otherwise, the expressions and wordings appearing in the
Telecommunication apparatus Type Approval Regime shall have the same meaning described
thereto.

3 Technical Requirements
